I have crocheted sweaters for little ones in the past. Right now those little ones are big ones! But one sweater I remember well was done in double yarn and had an Aztec-type design in it. My son wore that sweater everywhere. He loved it because it had pockets and could store little “treasures” in them when we would go out.

My knitting for this age range has been somewhat limited — my latest effort turned out to be too small for the intended recipient, although it was knit to gauge and turned out measurements of the pattern…. Will have to try again using larger size.

I’ve done much more knitting for babies, and would like to expand my horizons in larger sizes as my grandchildren grow. Would love to try some of the patterns in this book.

Six month baby is growing so fast, I need to try and keep ahead of her with my projects. Just finished a jumper and although it is a size 1, I think she can wear it already. It has ties at the shoulders, so can be adjusted as she grows. Knitting every stitch with love.

I always check with kids this age group about colors and let them feel the yarn. Sometimes the yarn is scratchy(to them) and that will keep them from wearing. Also the style , as I made a pancho for my granddaughter, she puts it on all the time, but then it just gets in her way! She’s 4!

I have loved knitting baby items for my grandchildren, but as they grow older (now ages 2 – 6) I am looking for a variety of up to date patterns for projects they will enjoy wearing. Softer DK yarns knit up nicely and are more comfortable to wear than some of the bulkier worsted weight yarns.

I have 2 granddaughters, 2 and 6 years old. When knitting for them I keep their moms in mind and always knit with washable wool or cotton blends. I make the little girls hats, mittens and sweaters in their favorite colors, but I know my creations will get worn regularly if they are easy for the moms to wash and dry.

Knitting for this age group isome of my favorite pastimes as I have 2 grandchildren that are always requesting hand knits from me. It’s hard to find good, updated patterns so winning this book would be a fantastic help!

I have 5 grandchildren in this age group and I have made them all hats and scarves. I used an iridescent eyelash yarn and held it with another yarn to make the girl’s scarves and the absolutely loved them. I always make them in their favorite colors.

The main reason I learned to knit after I retired, is because I love making knitted garments for my 3 darling granddaughters, now ages 7,8,9. Seeing their eyes light up is such a thrill for me. I’ve made each a cute pink/purple blended colorway Poncho, each a sweet Ballet Shrug in their favorite colors, pullover Sweaters, Cardigans, and even little mittens with matching scarves. I also knit for my sister’s granddaughter & grandson, and my nieces, and nephews. The patterns shown are just adorable.

Love the Fairisle toque with pompoms…and that is what I’m studying to learn how to make for 2014….This year I learned how to knit socks…so for everyone on their birthday I’m knitting socks….my little niece loved her pair….Now I’m trying to learn fair isling….so that I can make them each a snowflake toque and mitts in their colors….have a great day…

Love all Sublime patterns, would love to have book. My tip for insuring a good outcome is measure, measure, measure. I hate it when a sweater comes out perfect except that the arms are too short. Also, if possible, check with the child to see if they like the pattern.

I don’t have grandchildren…yet! But I have been planning a few knitting, crochet, and sewing/smocking projects to get started on in advance, just so that I can keep up when they do get here. Having many ideas in one resource–a wish book if ever there were one!

I am a retired grandmother of 8 and have been knitting since I was about 5 years old. My knitting has been limited until now. I’m learning how to do sweaters and more difficult things for my grandchildren. I have taught two granddaughters to knit and am excited to have a book to help them get better rather than just do scarfs and blankets like I did for years. love your site.

I made a cardigan for my 2 year old granddaughter and discovered that I needed to make the cuffs on the sleeves just a bit larger in order for her to have success in taking it off! I can’t wait to make more items for her. Beautiful book.

My oldest grand is 6 going on 16 and loves everything knitted for her. She is starting to knit a scarf, too. This book would be wonderful for her things and also her siblings, who are both 2 yrs old, to grow into.

I recently was on holiday in Norway and purchased Viking Nordley yarn to knit socks for my two daughters and granddaughter. Patterns were in Norweigan, not much help. On arrival back home, Sydney, Australia, found the website for Viking Nordley yarn, pattern for socks and the wonderful website knittingfever.com. The patterns in this new double knitting book look great, so different to patterns we have in Australia. I have a three year old grand-daughter and 1 yr old grandson, he obviously is too young for these patterns – but he will grow. Would be great to win this book. I will be looking forward to knittingfever newsletters.
